Hello all,

Thanks for taking time to answer my question.

I tried changing column names and did not get an error. Although, I still do not see the coordinates in the GIS app. DHIS2 is telling me that there are “No coordinates”. This works fine with manual entry of latitude and longitude but Not through a csv import.

Jesus Solano-Roman – I will be happy to support you for a ticket on JIRA. Building a XML file is not an option as I have over 2000 units (points) for my OrgUnits.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Subject: Re: [Dhis2-users] Betr: Import of coordinates fails in v2.27(DHIS2)

Hello all.

I have yet to submit an issue regarding this. In my case it was impossible to upload coordinates in CSV for event data. I tried with header, without header, using square brackets for the coordinates, using quotation marks, etc.

If you have a comma without quotation marks the parser will think the second value belongs to the next column. If you have quotation marks it will not interpret the value as type coordinate and the import will fail.

The only way I got around the problem was to import the data using XML.

It would be nice to know if you can't make it work. That way I'd have more confidence submitting a ticket on JIRA.

Hi Kristiyan,


Would it be possible that you have one extra column somewhere (maybe a double comma) ?

The way I understood csv-imports, DHIS2 doesn't read the column names in your csv but just counts the colums (see list of colums here <https://docs.dhis2.org/2.26/en/developer/html/webapi_csv_metadata_import.html> , Table 1.17). Coordinates should be in column nr 12, url should be in nr 13. From the log, it seems that DHIS2 thinks that you try to import a url. This probably means that your coordinates are in column nr 13 or "M", while they should be in column nr 12 or "N".

Dear all,

My case is regarding the following: DHIS->Import->CSV->Organizational Units->Coordinates. I am not sure whether this is a bug or not well described in the documentation but import of coordinates does not work properly DHIS2 v.2.27.

I have tried numerous combinations of arranging the latitude and longitude in my .CSV file and none of that worked when import in DHIS2. My feature type is “POINT”. This is the "Conflict" I get:

~
Main Type           Error Type           Description
OrganisationUnit              String    Property `url` requires a valid URL, was given `[36.035858,31.871833]`.
~
Combinations were made with: dots, commas, space, most type of brackets, rotating latitude and longitude, etc.


When I entered coordinates manually in DHIS2 for a single OrgUnit and I could successfully view that POINT on a map. This is what I get from a XML export of Organization Units regarding manually input of coordinates:

<featureType>POINT</featureType>
<coordinates>[36.035858,31.871833]</coordinates>

Your help will be very appreciated as I need to enter approximately 2000 Point coordinates for Organizational Units.

Kind Regards,
Kristiyan Panayotov
